Nostalgia Incarnate: The Legendary “Light” VW Bus Returns!

Although there aren’t any new VW busses being manufactured today, fans of this iconic vehicle might still get excited about the return of the VW “Light” bus, a customized model painted in 1968 by the artist Robert “Dr. Bob” Hieronimus. This unmistakable bus features brightly painted esoteric, counter-cultural designs, recalling the sights and emotions of 1968.

Although no new VW bus was engineered, the team was able to find an exact replica of the original, and they painted it into a perfect match!

The return of the VW “Light” bus was occasioned for the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, that famous music festival that helped to define a generation. With a new generation of drivers coming of age at new music festivals across the country, it’s no surprise that the unforgettable VW bus is making a comeback.

Will There Ever Be a New VW Bus?

Volkswagen has recently revealed that a new VW bus is in the works, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for our neighbors near Chicago and Niles. This all-new, all-electric model will be based on the I.D. Buzz concept, first previewed at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. The latest bus will have the look and feel of the old model, but with tons of cutting-edge technology under the hood and in the cabin. We currently expect it to arrive at dealerships before the end of 2022.

So, what can you expect from the next VW bus? Already, we know that it will be based on the same platform as a future all-electric VW SUV, itself modeled after the I.D. Crozz concept. The VW engineers expect it to offer an all-electric driving range of up to 300 miles, and for those who take advantage of the VW fast-charge system, up to 80% of the battery life can be restored in just 30 minutes!
